Boo!

Happy Halloween!

Happy Birthday, Ann!

We hope you had a wonderful day, Ann! We hope to see you soon!

So Long, Farewell, auf Wiedersehen, Goodnight

It's been real, boring, painful (and real boring and real painful), tedious, amazing and productive and I do think I'll actually miss you, Mr. (or Ms.) Medela. Hopefully, I'll see you again sometime in the future. Yes, I'm officially packing away the pump. It's strange how I reminisce about the tedium of it all: washing the pump parts, sterilizing them in the handy-dandy microwave bags, hooking up and watching every infomercial known to man from "Your 6-month-old CAN read!" to "Sham-WOW!) in the wee hours of the morning. It just finally came time to put sleep ahead of breastmilk. And it finally dawned on me that there's SO much more to being a mom than the milk.
